OK ... some one else has mentioned something about the wheel covers flying off. I gather that is a problem??? Under what circumstances?? Do you remove and replace them on a regular bases?? Maybe that loosens the clips or whatever holds them on.

What do you do with the zip ties. Feed them through the inner wheel hole and the wheels cover??

Today I removed the second rear passenger seat. The first one was removed when I bought the unit and I installed the storage cabinet behind the driver's seat. I find that I seldom need or use the rear passenger side seat and wanted to make extra room when I rotate the front passenger seat when parked so I can lounge and watch TV or work on the computer. I will also bring a small portable foot stool and see how that works.

I still left he pedestal there for now ... just in case I need to reinstall the seat in a hurry. Time will tell if there is a need for it.

Yes it is a problem with the wheel covers. A well known problem with Winnebago Sprinter based units, also later made Great West units that use the same wheel cover.
The easy and cheap fix is to go get some approx. 1/8th inch wide zip ties, thread them through the cover and hole in the wheel, back out again, tighten, cut off the excess. Do this twice on each cover directly opposite from each other. I do it 90 degrees apart from the valve stems, not critical, just how I do it.
Check once in awhile for snugness. If they get loose, just replace. The wheel cover should not move at all then. On our 2009 Navion we just traded, they got so loose that if they weren't tied down, they would slowly spin around the wheel while working their way loose.
